SPRING IS HERE is a jaunty bit of fun on the classic Rodgers and Hart masterpiece from the early 1930s.

"Another piece that gets a startling redux is the Rodgers and Hart classic 'Spring is Here.' Hopkins’ arrangement restructures the theme while still staying loyal to its joyful and buoyant subject matter. Outstanding solos abound from Goodrick, Pierce and Ray that create an atmosphere rife with elegance and sophistication."
